City of sand, city of skyscrapers, but a city of mangroves? The City
Environments Around the Globe intensive field seminar in February began
off of NYU Abu Dhabi\u2019s campus and with a frog eye\u2019s view of a local
mangrove forest. Marine biologist, and NYU Abu Dhabi professor, John
Burt led the workshop participants on an early morning kayak tour. While
paddling, he explained the particularities of coastal environments that
shape where people live and, thereby, are shaped by how they live. He
also set the tone for this unique place-based workshop, a dynamic and
diverse collection of stories and studies that, like the frog eye\u2019s view
of the mangrove forest, offered so many intriguing vantage points for
viewing Abu Dhabi.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|12px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.25″ column_structure=”1_4,3_4″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/earthumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/unnamed.jpg” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″]

We spent two jam-packed, enriching days exploring Abu Dhabi\u2019s diverse and exciting city environment. Our kick-off exploration of the mangroves demonstrated the diversity of life in and around the city. This colorful (and wet) bonding experience was one of my favorite parts of the conference. The eARThumanities Center is home to a multifaceted and vibrant community of scholars, which I am grateful to have encountered.”<\/div>\n
